Total Sediment Thickness for the World's Oceans and Marginal Seas, Version 2 (NCEI Accession 0304906)
NCEI's global ocean sediment thickness grid (Divins, 2003) was updated for the Australian-Antarctic region (60°-155°E, 30°-70°S). Seismic reflection and refraction data were used to add detail to the conjugate Australian and Antarctic margins and intervening ocean floor where regional sediment thickness patterns were previously poorly known.
NCEI decommissioned this product in June 2025 with no further updates. Comments and questions may be sent to: ncei.info@noaa.gov.
